As first looks at a series go, this one’s pretty short—but you’ll get the gist. The latest video game adaptation to make it to the screen is Peacock’s Twisted Metal, which stars Anthony Mackie and a murderous clown.

They had me at the CD binder, to tell you the truth; the ridiculous song choice was just the cherry on top. There’s not much to this teaser otherwise, just quick looks at Mackie’s car, the dangerous countryside, and Sweet Tooth’s grotesque ice cream truck.

Twisted Metal is “about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.” Along with Mackie, the show stars Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Richard Cabral and, in the two-person role of Sweet Tooth the clown, Samoa Joe provides the body and Will Arnett the voice.

The summary notes that the show is “based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick.” Cobra Kai‘s Michael Jonathan Smith is the adaptation’s writer and showrunner.

All ten episodes peel out on Peacock on July 27th.
